Ego Hacking
Become the person you want to be with the help of your friends.
In a world where personal development often feels like a solitary journey, "Ego Hackers" presents a radical new approach. Drawing from his experience founding Couchsurfing—the world's largest trust experiment—Casey Fenton reveals how our identities are shaped through social connection.
"Who we are is not static. Our identities – the products of the way we see ourselves and the way others see us – are constantly, and inevitably, open to change." Your ego isn't your enemy; it's the most sophisticated biotechnology ever to evolve. Through practical exercises called "Coding Practices" and real-world examples, Fenton shows how to reprogram your identity and break free from limiting patterns.
